For Sale: G-Wagen Camper with 11K Miles

This mystifies me. A diesel G-Wagen, with a professional camper conversion and only 11,115 miles—and it hasn’t been sold. Yes, that’s right, this wonderful G-Wagen conversion has become somewhat of an eBay runt, popping up here and there, somehow not being able to find itself a good home. Equipped with the venerable OM617 diesel engine, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox along with front, center, and rear locking differentials, this G-Wagen is built to get you there and back. The camper conversion even has a shower, refrigerator, toilet, and a full kitchen, what more do you need?
